Question of the Day: Have you ever ordered a product online and received a fake knock-off?
Titan Hub @ UCT.
- Thread starter Noxville
- Start date
OK: situation update.
Last week, I began hosting Titan from my room in Smuts Hall. No more than 12 hours later, ICTS/ResNet has blocked my port with no notification or warning whatsoever.
Yes, that's right: I don't even get a take-down notice. Which I should, considering that UCT apparently stands by the ISPA Code of Conduct, which requires them to follow notification and take-down requests in a formal and official manner. It also says that a member of the ISPA should act fairly, reasonably, professionally and in good faith when dealing with consumers.
From the above, I think we can conclude that either UCT ResNet and ICTS have a dire reading comprehension problem, or are instead a psychotic group of diktats with no care for the rights of their consumers, the details of their policies, or the expectations they need to adhere to as a registered ISP.
I eagerly await a response from someone like South_Bit to provide some insight into the matter.

Partially related: There was a notice earlier this year in the UCT red lab about 2 UCT students who got caught (by Microsoft officials) downloading Microsoft software, and were to be disciplined by UCT for the offence. I don't know what the outcome was. It's the first time I heard of international copyright holders approaching the owners of networks through which users have downloaded copyrighted material.
Scary. Imagine Microsoft had found out about DC++. That would not have turned out nicely. I can only imagine what UCT would do if a big company like Microsoft accused them of allowing their networks to be used for copyright infringement.
Anyway, what's the status on the UCT DC network at the moment? I'm gonna have a look myself when I find a DC hub that works.

The Apex dc ++ hub provider breakfastclub.redirectme.net is alive once again-----29 May 2013 lots of illegal movies and games to download, hurry while it lasts. The hub is running on the wired UCT network once again, and its running in mechanical engineering IP number 137.158.119.171.
